The COMSOL Conference recently made its second stop in Grenoble, France. The three-day event brought together more than 300 engineers, researchers, and scientists, giving attendees the opportunity to advance their simulation skills and network with other users and COMSOL staff. We would like to thank everyone who came to the conference, as it was a great success. Here’s a look at some of the photos from the event.

The first stop of the COMSOL Conference 2015 in Boston featured industry talks by speakers from three companies: GrafTech Innovation and Technology Center, Huawei Canada Research Centre, and AltaSim Technologies. These keynote speeches offered a look at some of the innovative uses of COMSOL Multiphysics, including the Application Builder.

The COMSOL Conference 2015 Boston brought together simulation engineers for three days of hands-on training, user presentations, industry talks, and more. We’d like to share some photos from the event with you — and if you were there, check out the slideshow below to see if you are in any of the pictures.

Wireless power transfer involves the transfer of power between a transmitting and a receiving unit and is used to wirelessly charge electronics like mobile phones and electric cars. While wireless power transfer offers many benefits, there are some challenges that this technology encounters. This is where simulation comes in handy. For instance, some WPT technologies must be oriented in a certain way to ensure proper performance. Today, we’ll analyze the impact of orientation on the functionality of two WPT antennas.

When flowing through a constricted area of a pipe, a fluid’s velocity increases and its static pressure decreases. This principle is known as the Venturi effect. Today, we will take a closer look at this effect, including some of its applications.

As a technical support engineer, one of the most common technical questions I receive is: “How can I compute the mass conservation of a fluid flow simulation or the energy balance of a conjugate heat transfer simulation?” This is often requested to investigate and ensure a simulation’s accuracy. Here, I will demonstrate how to perform these calculations in COMSOL Multiphysics and introduce some of the predefined variables available for postprocessing the energy rate terms of the energy balance equation.

Keeping buildings cool in the summer and warm in the winter is a major drain on energy resources. In search of a more cost-effective and energy-efficient way to heat and cool buildings, researchers at Fraunhofer ISE continuously work to develop adsorption-based systems that run on solar energy, natural gas, and industrial waste. Using COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software, the team investigates the adsorption process, heat exchanger design, and numerous other systems that affect their innovative developments in adsorption technology.

Clinton Davisson is an American physicist best known for his discovery of electron diffraction through the Davisson-Germer experiment. His findings brought about important developments in the field of quantum mechanics. On this day, which would have been his birthday, we celebrate Davisson’s storied history and many contributions to science.

The shortest route between two points isn’t necessarily a straight line. If by shortest route, we mean the route that takes the least amount of time to travel from point A to point B, and the two points are at different elevations, then due to gravity, the shortest route is the brachistochrone curve. In this blog post, we demonstrate how to use built-in mathematical expressions and the Optimization Module in COMSOL Multiphysics to solve for the brachistochrone curve.

On the last day of the COMSOL Conference 2015 Boston, attendees gathered together to celebrate the recipients of the Best Paper and Poster awards. The awards were given to winners with projects covering many different subject areas, ranging from food science and electronic devices to plasma research and IED detection. Here, we’ll share more information about their innovative work.

In our Acoustophoretic Force blog series, we have discussed the nature of acoustic radiation force and different ways to compute this force in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. Today, we will introduce you to a related phenomenon, acoustic orbital angular momentum, and demonstrate how to model it.
